I love strawberries....strawberries and more.....strawberries. I love summer time! My aunt had organic gardening down pat. We would go out to the strawberry patch in the middle of the afternoon, pick a few, rinse and eat them warm. Sooo gooood!

I like bananas, apples, nectarines, strawberries and watermelon for snacks but usually too expensive so mostly eat bananas since can get them for 19 cents per pound on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Veggies I usually eat carrots and celery for snacks but many others at meal time.

I have "The Spark", "SparkPeople Cookbook" and "Spark Solutions"

I set my ticker to my highest weight of 210 lbs because it gets upset and doesn't want to save when I gain weight instead of lose. on Dec 30, 2012 I joined SparkPeople and weighed 195.8

My rotation for veggie snacks lately has been: Organic baby carrots - so tender! Raw cauliflower with a veggie/fruit salsa I make in big batches and divided into single servings (mango, avocado, jalapeno, and key lime juice) Sliced tomatoes from my garden with the same salsa mentioned above

Fruit snacks lately: Green apples and peanut butter Red Grapes

I also incorporate at least one fruit and veggie into each of my meals.

I like all vegetable, but I especially love roasted vegetables--asparagus, beets, parsnips, carrots, brussel sprouts, potatoes, etc. It sweetens them without adding any sugar. I brush them with just a touch of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and toss them in a hot oven while I'm getting the rest of the dinner ready. I usually make extra so I have leftovers for another day or 2. If I'm pressed for time, I'll nuke them in the microwave just to get the cooking started, then put them in the oven.

If I have a little more time, I will use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of zucchini until I reach the seeds. I saute one zucchini's worth with one wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, until the cheese melts and coats the zuke. It tastes so much like Fettuccine Alfredo, but with on about 30 calories!

Favorite veggie for snacking--celery. I just love the taste. that is a huge change for me!

Time to stop farting around and get serious about eating healthy. Start exercising again. The move is DONE. GOAL: Reduce A1C,BP,tryglicerides,and weight. HOW? Low carb plan with lots of veggies and water aerobics at least 3X week. I was doing this but moving stress has halted my good habits. Time to get this going again. I am worth it.
